THE BIG QUESTION, IS A HOME INSPECTION REALLY
NECESSARY?
Well, the answer is yes, a professional home inspector
could be the difference between the buyer having the dream house or the house
that eats one hundred dollar bills. One
of the most costly mistakes a buyer can make is to think “it looks good to me
and Uncle Joe thinks it looks good, I don’t think we need a home inspection. A
decision based on this type of observation has cost many a buyer thousands of
dollars. A professional home inspector inspects houses for a living and will
find repairs that could cost the buyer thousands if not discovered before the
closing of title.

Trees Near The House That Cause Damage
Tree limbs that overhang the roof can cause expensive damage (1) limbs that brush against the roof shingles when the wind blows can cause a roof leak by damaging the shingles (2) Carpenter ants get into the house by tree limbs. They go from the tree trunk to the limb and then onto the roof and the last stop is into the house. (3) In a high wind storm a limb can break off and damage the roof and other areas of the house.
NOTE - trees planted to close to the house the roots of the tree can do damage to the foundation, driveway and sidewalks.
RAIN GUTTER AND DOWNSPOUT PROBLEMS
Rain gutters should be cleaned out at least once a year and if you have trees near the property gutter cleaning should be done more often. Many home owners don't take the gutter and downspout maintenance to seriously and the neglected maintenance leads to a host of problems. Listed are two of the main problems that can develop when gutter and downspout maintenance is deferred. (a) when the gutter are not cleaned and leaves and dirt block the gutter water flow, the rain water starts overflowing and running down the side of the house. This situation can lead to siding damage, water penetration into the house walls which can cause mold in the walls. Needless to say, any kind of mold problem can lead to health problems.
(b) Rain gutter downspouts discharging water right alongside the foundation is a common problem that can cause water penetration into the basement. Again, water penetration into the house can cause material damage and a mold problem.
The gutter downspouts should discharge the rain water at least four feet from the foundation to minimize water penetration into the house.
Story about Mold in the Basement Bedroom
I did an inspection on the house that had a finished basement which was used as a bedroom for two teenage girls. I spent about 15 or 20 minutes in the basement examining the furnace, the hot water heater, the foundation and the other items in the inspection. After about 15 minutes I started to get a sore throat, I knew instantly what the problem was; there was a serious mold problem in the basement behind the finished walls. There was one area that I could see behind the finished wall from the furnace room. When I shined my flashlight behind the finished wall all one could see was black mold. Mold so thick on the concrete foundation walls I couldn’t believe that these two girls were actually sleeping in this basement bedroom. I knew that this was a serious mold and health problem and it was going to be expensive to tear down the finished walls and clean out the mold. I asked the owner of the house, the mother of the girls, if the girls were always sick and mother answered yes they're always sick and missing school why do you ask ?. I informed her that there was a serious mold problem in the basement and mold problem was probably the reason the girls were sick and missing school. Needless to say once the buyer found out how much mold was in the basement he terminated the transaction and didn't buy the houses The seller, hired several of men from church to help her removed the finished wall and clean the mold off the foundation walls. It took them two weeks to clean out the mold and refurbish the finished basement. Even though it's not included in the home inspection, with our company, when the inspector sees mold he will give a courtesy report and put it in the report with photos because it’s a real health safety hazard. Mold is like old age. it sneaks up om you all of a sudden you don't feel good.
